问题: wait 后为什么不加for

He must wait a long time. In fact, he waited for two hours.
he wait a long time 为什么不写成wait for a long time?

解答:

(for) a long time

都可以,但习惯用wait for a long time.
wait for sb/sth (for)a long time.前一个for不能省.
for 句首时不能省.for all day.all前for必须省去.


原句时态可否改为:He must have waited (for) a long time. In fact, he waited for two hours.
